A total solar eclipse is a celestial spectacle unlike any other — a moment when day turns to twilight and the sun's fiery corona is revealed.
On 12 August 2026, for the first time since 1999, there will be a total eclipse of the sun over mainland Europe. This event will be particularly dramatic in northern Spain, where it will be a breathtaking sunset eclipse and where the warmth of the summer offers a high probability of cloudless skies.
The path of totality cuts - where the moon moves between the earth and the sun, completely obscuring the sun = will pass directly across the historic region of Castilla y Leon. In Valladolid the total eclipse will be visible at 20.29 local time (one hour before sunset) and the totality will last 1 minute and 27 seconds.
We have secured exclusive packages at two of the most iconic and perfectly-positioned luxury spa hotels in the region: the magnificent Castilla Termal Monasterio Valbuena and the beautifully restored Castilla Termal Burgo de Osma. Both properties, part of the renowned Castilla Termal group, are located directly within the path of totality for the 2026 eclipse, offering you a prime viewing spot for this historic event.
Our three-night bed and breakfast stays, with departures from London Gatwick to Madrid (other airports on request) on the 11th August 2026 include car hire and also some local experiences.
Housed within a meticulously renovated 12th-century Cistercian monastery, this hotel is not just a place to stay—it's a journey into history. Situated in the heart of the world-famous Ribera del Duero wine region, it’s the ideal base for both eclipse chasing and indulgent relaxation.
Includes:
Price from £1,722.00 per person based on 2 adults sharing. Departing 11 August 2026
Experience the magic of the eclipse from another stunning former monastery. The Castilla Termal Burgo de Osma is ideally located to offer excellent viewing conditions, perfectly positioned for you to capture the totality from a unique historical setting.

Price from £1,205.00 per person based on 2 adults sharing. Departing 11 August 2026
Why not use the opportunity to combine your three-night relaxed stay in these renovated monastery spa hotels with a few nights exploring Madrid or making the stays part of a wider, fly-drive holiday in the historically rich region of Castille and Leon.
And hurry, because space at these properties is already disappearing!
